Structural Shift of China’s Economy

The Chinese economy has its underlying momentum, supported by rebalancing reforms and steady jobs market.

Low central government debt underpins China’s fiscal capacity, which could help mitigate “black swan” events.

Our base case scenario is for 2019 GDP to moderate to around 6.3% (2018: +6.6%), with downside risks from trade

tensions with the US and easing tech cycle. People's Bank of China (PBoC) has eased credit conditions and used

its fiscal levers to provide targeted support.

• The projected Federal Funds Target Rate (FFTR) range of 2.75%-3.00% by end-2019 incorporates two more hikes,

albeit with some pauses. The two hikes are likely to be postponed to the June and December Federal Open Market

Committee (FOMC), from earlier expectations at the March and September FOMC respectively. Similarly, balance-

sheet reduction (BSR) – which reached its equilibrium state (US$50 billion in Oct’18) – is expected to slow down in

light of potential financial market volatility.

• In Singapore, short-term interest rates are expected to rise further in 2019, alongside projections for higher Fed rates.

However, the monetary policy bias in the region is tilted towards status quo for now. Growth in regional economies has

generally moderated in 2H18, after a resilient 1H18. The US-China trade tensions – which are likely to be protracted –

are negative for export-oriented Asian economies, as reflected in growth outlook in 2019.

• On balance, risks of capital flight from Asia remains low as pressure for monetary tightening has eased with the US

expected to take a slower approach to interest rate normalisation. Yet emerging markets, particularly for those with

current account and fiscal deficits, could see renewed pressure amid escalating trade tensions.

Slowdown in manufacturing (2019f: +3%)

4Q18 GDP growth slowed to 1.9% y/y (3Q18: +2.4%).

This brought the full-year GDP growth to 3.2% (2017:

+3.9%), as manufacturing growth slowed to 7.2% in

2018 (2017: +10.5%). For 2019, GDP growth is

projected at 2.5% with downside risks, although

construction could potentially accelerate into 2019.

The MAS further tightened its monetary policy in

Oct’18, due to growth staying above potential and

higher core inflation. The slope of SGD NEER policy

band was slightly raised to an estimated 1.0% per

annum, from an estimated 0.5% slope since Apr’18.

The MAS could tighten further with another slope

increase at the Apr’19 meeting, but the biggest

uncertainty is the ongoing US-China trade tension.

Banks need to be profitable in order to be strong.

Retained earnings are one of the major sources of

equity – which is the highest quality capital that

banks hold. Banks also need to be profitable to be

able to support the real economy. They have to earn

a decent return for intermediating credit, otherwise

they will do less of it.

– Mr Ravi Menon, Managing Director,

Monetary Authority of Singapore, 20 April 2017

…certain liabilities should be excluded from the

scope of bail-in because their repayment is

necessary to ensure the continuity of essential

services and to avoid widespread and disruptive

contagion to other parts of the financial system. The

proposed scope of bail-in would hence exclude

liabilities such as … senior debt and all deposits.

Monetary Authority of Singapore, June 2015
